Trimming the trees!

Our orchard is home to lots of different heritage apple trees. Last month they were wassailed to by Grimsby Morris and this month our long-standing volunteer Kieran has bene pruning the trees, this makes sure that there will be plenty of light and air for the trees as they grow their apples through the summer. We will be using this year's apple crop to make juice again, as it was really popular last autumn and at the wassail.

It's important to prune the trees before the end of February before they get into the full swing with growing.
